Acts 13:40

13:40 Watch out, ¹  then, that what is spoken about by ²  the prophets does not happen to you:

Acts 26:27

26:27 Do you believe the prophets, ³  King Agrippa? ⁴  I know that you believe.”

Acts 24:14

24:14 But I confess this to you, that I worship ⁵  the God of our ancestors ⁶  according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law ⁷  and that is written in the prophets.

[13:40]  ¹ sn The speech closes with a warning, “Watch out,” that also stresses culpability.

[13:40]  ² tn Or “in.”

[26:27]  ³ sn “Do you believe the prophets?” Note how Paul made the issue believing the OT prophets and God’s promise which God fulfilled in Christ. He was pushing King Agrippa toward a decision not for or against Paul’s guilt of any crime, but concerning Paul’s message.

[26:27]  ⁴ sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

[24:14]  ⁵ tn Or “serve.”

[24:14]  ⁶ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[24:14]  ⁷ sn That is, the law of Moses. Paul was claiming that he legitimately worshiped the God of Israel. He was arguing that this amounted to a religious dispute rather than a political one, so that the Roman authorities need not concern themselves with it.
